A few days ago, I discovered Royal Hell, a highly talented heavy metal/rock band from Scranton, Pennsylvania. If you go for this style, you should definitely check this energetic quartet out – here on Bandcamp, for instance, or on YouTube (see video below). After a nice conversation on Facebook, I asked them to tell us their five favourite bands of all time. In my opinion, it’s always interesting to get to know more about the major influences of artists because I want to understand which musicians served – or still serve – as a source of inspiration. Well, here we go…
Matt V. Peppe (vocals):
- Diamond Head
- Venom
- Megadeth
- Slayer
- Katatonia
Eugene Pavlico (guitars):
